He basically runs any kind of grift he can get away with lol

morgfair Isn't that called insider trading

This is an old story. Don't you have archives? Or do you assume everybody is stupid?

BillionDollarLoser

jameshohmann raise your hand if this is shocking news👎🏾grifter

Not surprised...

Yawn! How shocking...a owner hyped his own business. Have you fools paid attention to IPO’s on the stock market lately?

Uh, you mean spreading lies to manipulate worth so he could then make a profit. I call that a false profit not to be confused with the 'False prophet' who people think is in the white house

LOL, let's start looking at Pelosi, Schumer, etc. and how they got so rich off a gov't salary.

That is my president.

Isn’t that stock manipulation? That’s illegal.

Isn't that just a pump and dump scheme? And doesn't that violate SEC rules?

Obnoxious ..

So now you say he profited

Once again we found out your just a con-man the art of the deal to rip off the American people and put money in your pocket going to your hotels and Golf courses 300-400 million so far what a great fake on Americans.

That's when he was a Democrat....now the WP and fake media do it regularly.... hoaxes, covering for Democrats..... one sided made up news stories like the Covington High BS..... spin... and that's why people stop believing them....

LoserDon

Conman

So the updated version of this scheme could be to buy or short sell stock and then send out a tweet that would affect that companies stock price? No wonder he is hiding his tax returns.

Did Trump keep his yachts offshore? Note the transom & flag

Don the Con. He found a bunch of suckers that would let him shoot someone on Main St. These same suckers don’t mind if Don the Con pays taxes. They don’t care if he and his campaign meet with Russians. The don’t mind if he obstructs justice. These suckers could care less.

I think you have the Washington Post mixed up here. Analysis: Records show how the Washington Post has profited by selling papers by spreading rumors-until the internet showed them to be political hacks for the Democratic Party.

And yet he has businesses and buildings worth over 12 billion dollars.

Isn't taking a position and then spreading false and misleading information illegal market manipulation?

New Yorkers have known for many years what a conman he is. Too bad many people didn't listen to the warnings.

There is something very wrong with realDonaldTrump

WOW, HE FOLLOWED THE TAX LAW. lets see your records? let see WP tax returns.

Con-men gonna con. BillionDollarLoser

More fake news on Trump.

? That is a deliberate and vicious LIE!

Its called manipulation...like insider trading...illegal....he thinks this is the way things should work...this is our president? WTF

“Newspaper” show how profited off spreading Russian Trump collusion lies and propaganda for 2 years—until cheating spouse Bezos bought the Post. 🙄

Luckily the Russian Mafia never stopped believing in him......
